Many of us (creationists and evolutionists alike) often demand "proof" - or present "proof" - for our views; that proof, however, simply cannot exist. What we usually present is evidence. What do I mean?

Let's take this out of the Creation realm and put it more secularly. If you were to assert that there's no such thing as a million dollars, and then demand proof that there is, I would have only one option of proof: to take a physical stack of one million dollars, set…

For You They Signed: The Spiritual Heritage of Those who shaped Our Nation by Marilyn Boyer is an outstanding resource on the about the fifty-six men who signed their names on a document known as the Declaration of Independence. This work at first may appear to be just a historical record; however Boyer does a terrific job incorporating family or group devotional character studies, illustrations, biographical summaries, insightful quotes and more.
Being that I am a student and lover of… Continue

Think carefully before you answer that. We, as Christians, often claim that God is omnipotent - that is, we say He can do everything, and so to state that He can't lift a rock seems utterly impossible. This is, however, nonsense. God is all powerful, but that is not the same as being able to do everything.

But my friend going out and saying my Bible is unholy hurts Me. I love to get some input for You guys, and maybe learn were the title "Holy Bible" came from.

If God is so good, why is there so much death and suffering?
Hurricanes, tsunamis, earthquakes, AIDS, starvation, murder, disease,
infection, divorce, depression. Life is plagued by adversity, marked by
tragedy. A loving God wouldn't allow this, would he? The existence of
such pain in the world has led many to question the very existence of
God at all. It has become a chief argument against Christian theism and
has left the… Continue

Whenever possible, any children’s book I review is kid-tested. I happen to have two great kids who love books, so this isn’t an idle threat: If they don’t like it, don’t expect a good review. [Drumroll please...]

Ugh a friend of mine believes the the Tigris and Euphrates are the same ones described in Genesis! However that can't be true for Noah's flood wiped it out. And bye bye Garden of Eden that why we can't find the Garden of Eden. The Tigris and Euphrates of today were named after the original Euphrates and Tigris, that aren't here with us any more.

What are Your thoughts? Where is the Garden of Eden, or what happened to it. If the Tigris and Euphrates are the "original" rivers what… Continue

On October 31, 1517, Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses to the door of the “Castle Church” in Wittenberg, Germany, sparking the Protestant Reformation.

Martin Luther’s actions were a challenge to the extraBiblical teachings of his day, particularly regarding the sale of indulgences and the material hypocrisy of a wealthy Church that was building elaborate houses of worship with the money of poor believers rather than from its own…
